The Oak Ridge Boys - Did I Make A Difference

I'm caught up in the push and shove
The daily grind, burning time
Spinning wheels i wonder what I'm doing here
Day to day, year to year, standing still

Somewhere there's a teacher with
A heart never quit's
Staying after school to help
Some inner-city kids
A mother who's a volunteer
A Soldier in the fight
And I can't help but ask myself
When I lay down at night

Did I make a difference in somebody's life?
What hurts did I heal?
What wrongs did I right?
Did I raise my voice in defence of the truth?
Did I lend my hand to the destitute?
When my race is run, when my song is sung
Will I have to wonder
Did I make a difference?
Did I make a difference?

I've been working hard to make a living
And forgetting what true living is
Taking more than giving something's missing
Lord how long can I go on like this?

There's a lonely old man down the
Street and I should be ashamed
I've never been to see him I
Don't even know his name
There's kids without their supper
In my own neighbourhood
Will I look back someday and say
That I did all I could?

Did I make a difference in somebody's life?
What hurts did I heal?
What wrongs did I right?
Did I raise my voice in defence of the truth?
Did I lend my hand to the destitute?
When my race is run, when my song is sung
Will I have to wonder
Did I make a difference?
Did I make a difference?

When my race is run, when my song is sung
Will I have to wonder
Did I make a difference?
Did I make a difference?
Did I make a difference?
